Nasty elbow by Kunitz on a flames guy. He gets tossed and now Calgary has scored twice on the PP.

Kunitz always has what's coming to him.

Jets squeek out a win. Hellebuyck needs to be sat, his numbers are fucking laughable lol.

NSH v BUF tonight; never would have thought this would be must watch TV/hackey for league supremacy, but here we are

[Vaspinne]

Rumour (to be confirmed tomorrow apparently) is that Seattle is set to start play in the league in 2021. They're also proposing that Arizona joins the Central division for the sake of barance.

The NHL is projecting a salary cap of roughly $83-million for next season, per Gary Bettman.

[NynJa]

Looks like the salary cap wont be going as much as predicted, to the surprise of no one except Toronto lol

It's hilarious to me how badly everyone wants the team with the longest Cup drought to fail.

Pretty much this. Obs, sorry buddy but the media being all Toronto based and constantly sucking the Leafs teet for every single little minor thing that happens to that hockey team makes them incredibly easy to hate.

[Obsidian]

There's a reason the Leafs are the richest team in the League, and all the coverage they get isn't the cause, it's the effect.

It doesn't really bother me, either. What I find hilarious is everyone who hates all the coverage perpetuating it by constantly talking about how much they hate all the coverage.

Big game against Buffalo tomorrow, which is a sentence I never thought I would say.

[Vaspinne]

Obs playing the holier then thou card

You might want to source that, because every link I found said it was the Rangers.

Nice to see that the first US city to win the Stanley Cup finally has a team capable of competing for it again.

I doubt this will help me care more about hockey, but we'll see. If Portland got a team, I'd probably be all in.

Arizona will move to the Central division

[Vaspinne]

They better name themselves the Seattle Kraken or something along those lines.

Calgary was losing 4-1 at the start of the 2nd. Now winning 8-5 with just under 13 minutes to go in the 3rd. Feels good man

[Vaspinne]

Flames have scored 9 goals so far, James Neal has 0 points +_+. Even Smith has an assist
